They all say I'm a puppet

Compared with the prince's reaction, the king of Chu didn't cause any splashes. I don't know if he has learned experience from the prince. Anyway, no matter how much he wants Lin Guifei's mother and son to die in his heart, at least what he shows is that he is exceptional. calm.In addition to Cang Lin who didn't care about it at first, the behavior of King Jin and King Chu further reflected the prince's disrespectful behavior at that time, and even Cang Lin could hear these, how could He Hongyi not know?

Naturally, He Hongyi didn't respond at all, she was calm as if she really didn't know what was going on outside the palace, her whole heart was on her newborn son, and she didn't care at all what disturbances the other sons caused.

But Cang Lin knows that he may not be as calm as he appears on the surface, after all, there is a gap between him and his sons that no one will mention, but will never disappear-the hatred of killing his mother.

Cang Lin is fine here, after all, in He Hongyi's heart, what he did back then can be regarded as impeccable. Back then, Cang Lin was just a little bean. dead.Therefore, although he has not been warm to this son for many years, he has not been more defensive.

But the other two sons were different. After all, that day outside the capital city, He Hongyi did not hesitate to face the family who was regarded as a threat on the city wall, let alone the two sons who were kneeling beside him begging for help. son.He even asked the deputy general to pull the two sons apart, leaving only one sentence indifferently: "Those who achieve great things must avoid the benevolence of women."

So even though it seems that the father is kind and the son is filial and the relationship between the father and the son is harmonious all these years, but He Hongyi has never been really worried about these two sons.After all, the two of them were already half-grown teenagers at that time, and some things were easily engraved in their hearts and will be remembered forever.

Especially because of his father's indifference that killed the whole family and his own mother, even a cold-blooded person like He Hongyi would not dare to forget.

And the prince's attitude towards Lihou proved this.

However, He Hongyi did not intend to give any comfort to his two sons. He has always been conceited. In his eyes, the world belongs to him, and the harem belongs to him. Whoever he wants to stand by his side, whoever he wants to sit on In that latter position, I'm afraid he won't allow anyone to criticize him, even if this person is his own son.

So one month later, at the full moon banquet held by the fourth prince He Mochi, He Hongyi announced in public that the noble concubine Lin was the empress, and a grand empress ceremony was held on an auspicious day.Although the courtiers had known the news before, but now that He Hongyi announced it so grandly, it was inevitable that everyone would be in an uproar.

Although the King of Chu tried his best to endure, his expression had already changed. The other side of the prince held his wine cup tightly, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He put the wine cup on the table heavily, disregarding the obstruction of the people around him, got up and said: "Father, my son thinks that although Concubine Lin Gui has a son, she is from a humble background after all, so it is really inappropriate to be respected as a queen."

He Hongyi narrowed his eyes: "Then what kind of person do you think is suitable for this post?" Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and slowed down his voice, "Zheqi, I know you still miss your mother in your heart , in your heart, this post should belong to her. It's just that the past has passed away. Even if I am the emperor, sitting on this world, I can't return to heaven. Sometimes when I think about the past, why don't I feel sad? It's just your mother I have already gone, but whether it is the harem or the world, there must always be a mistress."

When mentioning the deceased mother, He Zheqi's face became even more ugly. He raised his head to meet He Hongyi's gaze. For a moment, he wanted to raise his head and ask the man in front of him, how could he so calmly mention being loved by him? The murdered wife?And how did he manage to watch his family die in front of his eyes without feeling ashamed for many years?

But a hand tugged at the hem of his clothes at the end, which made He Zhenqi wake up suddenly.The man in front of him has never been a loving father. He has killed countless times in his life, and he has never really cared about anyone in his heart. The wife who respects each other like a guest, the youngest son who is doted on in the palm of his hand, dozens of people from all over the family can't exchange him. compromise.What does it matter if he is the eldest son who is only superficially affectionate?

What's more, now the relationship between them is not only a father-son relationship, but also a monarch and minister.His reckless confrontation could not lead to any good results.

He Zheqi took a deep breath from the bottom of his heart, and cupped his hands towards He Hongyi: "Father, don't blame me, my son was reckless for a while, and didn't intend to interfere with my father's establishment of a queen. I think my mother will know, but I still hope Royal father can have a suitable person by his side. This son-in-law doesn't have much contact with Concubine Lin Gui, so he questioned it, but if royal father thinks it is appropriate, son-in-law will trust his judgment and follow his will."

He Hongyi locked his gaze on He Zheqi's face, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I know that you are doing it for the good of me and the country, although you are reckless, but you are sincere, I am in a good mood today, so I don't care about you. It's just that you have to make a good apology with the queen. You just said something, after all, you offended the queen."

He Zheqi was stunned for a moment before he realized that He Hongyi wanted to apologize to Concubine Lin Gui by himself, and more importantly, he had now directly called Concubine Lin Gui the Queen.He turned his head sideways and saw Concubine Lin Gui who was sitting at He Hongyi's lower position, teasing his child with her head down, with a smile on her face, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with her.

He Zheqi clenched his teeth, he stared at the woman almost fiercely, and the child in her arms who shouldn't have come to this world, what she took away now was the Queen's position, after that Well, after that child grows up slowly, can he still sit on the position of prince?

He Zheqi clenched his fists and stood there in a daze, bearing all kinds of gazes from the entire hall.After a long time, he suddenly bowed down and cupped his hands in the direction of Concubine Lin Gui: "My son just said something rude and offended the empress. I hope that the empress will forgive me."

Concubine Lin raised her head in surprise, looked at He Zheqi in disbelief, and then turned her gaze to He Hongyi as if asking for help: "Your Majesty, how dare I accept such a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince?"

He Hongyi laughed: "Since you are the queen, you are also the stepmother of the prince and his brothers, and you are also the mother and son, so why can't you bear it? Right, Zheqi?"

He Zheqi probably had his gums crushed in his heart, but he still responded with a forced smile: "Father said so."

Concubine Lin Gui handed the He Mochi in her arms to the nurse, stood up and walked in front of He Zheqi, helped him up, turned her head to He Hongyi and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what His Highness the Crown Prince said just now. The concubine is indeed from a humble background. Assuming this post, His Majesty suddenly let the concubine occupy this high position, the concubine is really terrified and fearful, and it is hard to convince everyone."

He Hongyi walked up to her, took her hand until he walked to the main seat, and then turned around: "Since I named you queen, it means that you are worthy of this position in my heart. Now the crown prince has no objections. If others If you still have any opinions, you can follow the example of the prince and raise them in person." After speaking, he glanced at He Yinzhi, "Yin Zhi, do you have any opinions?"

"I don't dare." He Yinzhi smiled slightly, "After all, today is a good day when the four emperors are full moon, and I went to be happy. As for the matter of setting up a queen, after careful calculation, it is the emperor's private matter after all. As a son of man, how can I have the right to comment on it."

He Hongyi seemed particularly satisfied with this answer, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept slowly from the hall: "What about Cang Lin?"

Cang Lin curled his lower lip, and took a few steps forward: "Since the eldest brother and the second brother have no objections, how can I have any objections." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, "I congratulate father The emperor has won both Lin'er and a worthy queen, and he also congratulates the queen mother."

Concubine Lin Gui raised her head, her eyes fell on Cang Lin's face, and after a long time, she said softly, "Then I will thank King Jin."

Cang Lin smiled, and then turned to He Hongyi and said, "Father, my son sees that the time is almost here, and the fourth brother's full moon ceremony should also begin."

He Hongyi laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, yes, this is today's business, and we will talk about the rest later. Come, order the ceremonial officer to come and perform the full moon ceremony for the fourth prince."

Cang Lin slowly put away the smile on his face, and went to help He Zheqi who was still standing aside, but He Zheqi swung his arm vigorously, and said softly, "I don't need your hypocrisy."

Cang Lin smiled slightly, and lowered his voice: "Father is still waiting for the full moon ceremony of the fourth younger brother. The emperor's words and deeds are all in the eyes of the father. The younger brother just saw the emperor standing in this hall all the time. I'm afraid that delaying the full moon ceremony will offend the emperor, and I have no other intentions. The emperor doesn't need to help, but the minister doesn't want to help." After speaking, he brushed his sleeve casually, turned and went back to his place.

He Zheqi stared at him, and couldn't help turning his head to look at He Hongyi, who was above the high position. He didn't know when he pulled the woman to his side, and he was lowering his head to tease the child in her arms, with a smile on his face. A happy look.He Zheqi remembered that many years ago, when his poor youngest brother was born, he also saw such a scene, but at that time standing beside He Hongyi was his mother, and the child in his arms was also his mother. The biological brother of the same father and mother.

All of this was ruined by He Hongyi.But he didn't show any regrets, instead, instead... He Zheqi clenched his fists tightly, turned around, and slowly walked back to his seat.

One day, he and He Hongyi will settle all this.
